State Press Comment.

Few and far between: McEnery
supporters in Calcasieu.-Ldke
Charles Commercial.
The objection to a third term in.
creases daily in the minds and hearts
of our thinking people.-Robesine
Reporter.
It is rumored that Monk Wells was
offered S4OO to start McEnery pa
per in Grant parish, and refused
George Harville got $3.50 for doing
it, and fells like kicking himself be-
cause he did not call for more Doodle.
Alexandria ToUn Talk.
The Ouachita delegation $50 called
to Baton Rouge will be absolutely
the only delegation there elected by
majority of negro votes. What dis
tinction for Ouachita to enjoy! There
where white supremacy was born it
was buried !-Oaachita Telegraph.
It costs the State $3.50 90 for the
tuition of each student who attends
the so-called University at Baton
Rouge. This is mighty high tuition.
The twenty-four thousand dollars APP
preparation annually for this school
accomplishes precious little in an
educational way.-La Journal.
Mr.. Charles F. Boyce, a member
of the jury commission, in the city of
New Orleans, was removed from Office,
this week, by Gov. McEnery, for no
other reason than that Mr.. Boyle
refused to support his candidacy
And still they say that this is not a
personal government.-L0ke Charles
Commercial.
The issue is just this: the State ad
ministration proclaims white suprem-
acy only to conceal their purposes
to govern the State and the party by
the aid of negro voters. White men
OF Louisiana, mark what we say to
you, these men will never hesitate to
place the negro over you to maintain
themselves in office.-Ldke Charles
Commercial.
The problem here with the McEn-
cry man is-how to get up a contest
ing delegation from st. Landry for
the purpose of keeping her thirteen
votes out of the preliminary organi-
cation of the convention, and at the
same time avoid antagonizing the
sub-committe. So far we have heard
the most fertile brain among them
has up to this time failed to solve the
conundrum.-St. Landry Democrat.
The failure of the emery claquers
to capture Grant parish seems to
stick in the craw of the Times Demo-
GRAFT, and that paper has devoted half
a dozen editorials, on as many differ
ent days, to the action taken in this
parish; and develops its usual cheek
and gall by deliberately placing our
three delegates in its McEnery col
umn, when it has every reason to
know that the claim is spurious
Collar Chronicle.
Major E. A. Burke enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only man who
was ever made part of the constitu
ton of the State of Louisiana, having
been retained in the Office of Treas
urer by the adoption of the constitu-
ton of 1879, which Office he still
holds. Considering the fact that but
q short time before his adoption by
the Democrats of Louisiana he SOL
EMMY swore that he was not Dem
ocrat, and had never been one, the
position he occupies in this State may
be said to be political anomaly with
out parallel -Coyar Chronicle.
The unblushing outrages upon COM
mon political honesty, fair play and
deeency by the machinists at the
Baton Rouge convention which NOM
mated Robertson, and again at New
Orleans in the State Central Commit
tee, should be sufficient to convince
any fair-minded man that these polit-
ical schemers will hesitate at nothing
which is necessary to their own self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Dual executive COM
mittees and contesting delegations
are their watchword, and you may
depend upon it they will be number
less and bare-faced, as occasion may
demand.-Abbeville MeysdiOnal.
Strange as it may appear there are
persons in this parish who still cling
to the idea that Gov. McEnery did
really build the levees. A friend who
recently visited remote sections of
Assumption informs us that he had
met with an old settler laboring un-
der this impression. On being asked
by our informant if he had paid his
taxes and could produce the receipts
therefore, he replied in the afirma-
tive. Whereupon he was pointed out
the amount of levee tax he had paid,
and was informed then and there and
once for all that he and the other tax
payers had built the levees and not
